there are some rules, (go to the website, click on How to Play) but basically you have to have minimum 2 Euro, 2 US in your team, select from the list to a max value of $15m.

you can make changes day-to-day but you must be entered by next Friday

Just bhad a look at the prizes and I noticed this is one for the winner is this ::


And that’s not all! The winner will also receive a brand new Taylor Made golf club, signed by the European Ryder Cup team captain, Nick Faldo - a 'money-can’t-buy' prize to spice up your Ryder Cup experience even more!

Wanna bet !! If I win it, you will find it on ebay within 30 minutes of me getting it. If they loose the RC, I will just donate it to charity.

ok, you're in.

as an aside, anyone know what the tv coverage is likely to be - I have this horrible feeling that with the weekend free it's only going to be on Sky!

are there any tacticians amongst us? there must be a way for us to maximise the league results with judicious selections - any ideas?

The game is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and on the range, long before I even make the first tee.
